[MTOS-dev] [ProNet] Javascript Library Standardization

[Byrne Reese]

I would never advocate point MT at a third party server. If we are to adopt
a 3rd party library, then we will certify MT against a fixed version of that
library. The risk introduced by allowing a third party to update MT¹s core
javascript libraries, without our first testing them is astronomical.

Whatever we adopt must be licensed in a way that is compatible with Movable
Type dual-licensing strategy, and must be shipped and bundled with the app.
